We planned on running a big trans cooler, i figure the colder the better right? What kind of shift kit would I be looking for? Preferably I would rather cam this motor while is out of the car on the stand an clean, then a year down the road. Also, same goes with the trans, i'm just new to auto's, i have had a 4 speed and now a 6 speed in my 69. Thanks for your input fellas.

Thats a good lookin convert! I'm more of a hardtop guy but I got respect for everyones tastes... I wish I could talk him into a m6 over the a4 but he's set on it. I'm assuming you did the cam, pushrods, and springs on yours correct? Any other mod's you'd recommend for that motor having one?

The driver of the car is only going to be autocrossing because I told him it's a great safe place to learn the limits of his car. That was part of our deal on me building the car, he had to autocross it so he would learn to safely control, throttle down/up, brake, and stop his car.
I think for the first year or two he will probably be ok running it stock but as his comfort level rises with the car, he may need to look at a trans build down the road to hold the higher revs for sustained track use, correct?

so if it were an 04 motor you probably have the ls6 intake correct? Did you upgrade your oil pump? What company did you use for your fuel tank? We are looking at Tanks Inc.

Did your specter tank come baffled? I read that some of the early ones didnt have a baffle and you could slosh the fuel away from your fuel pump pickup
